to iguodala. iguodala puts it up. no a whistle and a foul. a foul is called. iguodala will go to the line for two free throws with a chance to tie it. they'll also look at the clock to see if there's any time remaining but i don't think so. >> jeff: i love the strategy of the warriors not to foul durant immediately but to trap. durant or one of the other oklahoma city players should have called a timeout. >> mike: first thompson with the deflection and then green with a great save. iguodala is open. the foul clearly came before the buzzer. that's the first thing scott foster will check and then they'll check to see if they put any time on the clock.
11:01 pm
>> jeff: it was clearly a foul, too. >> mark: i'm shocked. if you're okc you got to call a timeout in that situation. iguodala is not known to be a great free throw shooter. >> mike: he's 61% from the line this season. these are his first attempts of the night. there's 7/10 remaining, so even if he hits these two, the thunder can call timeout and advance the ball and get off a quality shot. you can catch and shoot, even catch and turn with 7/10 of a second. right now the key for golden state, two huge free throws. one down. the veteran, iguodala, last year's finals mvp.
11:02 pm
that is two clutch free throws right there from a veteran. andre iguodala ties the game. now okc uses their final timeout and will advance the ball to try and win it at the buzzer. >> mark: i'd rather have a guy that could care less about the repercussions of missing than free throw shooting. those are two big free throws. look, it's all right. way to handle your-wise -- business. >> jeff: i'd rather have a great free throw shooter. >> mark: i know some that would be scared in that situation. >> mike: they have time to get off a quality shot here. what do you expect and look for? >> mark: it's a quick hitter.
11:03 pm
>> jeff: throw it to kevin durant. >> mike: westbrook will inbound and they put bogut on the inbound. thunder do not have a foul to give. roberson comes back in the game. they only had four guys out there, ibaka, durant, waiters also out there. >> jeff: don't be surprised if they use durant initially as a screener to try to open up somebody and force a miscommunication. >> mike: inside, durant puts it up. overtime. we get five more minutes of this. what a comeback from golden state down 12 here in the fourth quarter. andre iguodala hits two clutch free throws, and we'll have an extra session. >> mark: this is good defense by draymond green, the contest, makeable shot. you got to live with it. >> mike: this presentation of nba saturday primetime continues after this message and a word
11:04 pm
from our abc stations. two.
11:05 pm
then kevin durant throws the pass off, deflected by thompson.
11:06 pm
draymond green with a terrific save, finding finding andre iguo was fouled on his jump shot, hits both free throws to tie the game and here we have an overtime. one of the key things, a lot of teams in that situation would just foul kevin durant as opposed to with the clock winding down, precious seconds ticking away, they don't foul the rim. they try and force the turnover which they obviously did. >> mark: that's something you talk about in the huddle. everybody is anticipating a foul in that situation. great execution. >> jeff: absolutely. good read by klay thompson to gain the deflection and then the pursuit by green. >> mike: again, it doesn't get much better than this in terms of nba action and we get five more minutes on the clock. >> jeff: i'm interested in the mind-set of oklahoma city in that you can be playing backwards right now instead of forwards thinking about the
11:07 pm
opportunity you let maybe slip by versus the opportunity still at hand. they've got to gather themselves. >> mark: a tough task for okc is now the frustration in having to win the game two times. you already won it and gave it back. give the warriors credit. kevin durant now has five personal fouls. >> mike: nobody else has five. andre iguodala has four. durant's played the most minutes at 40. adams and green will jump center. you shoot the penalty in overtime on the fourth team foul. each team now with two timeouts and 1:20. westbrook fouled and one. explodes to the basket. the thunder draw first blood in the o.t. >> mark: you see a double high screen put adams and durant in the pick and roll action. westbrook no help, turns the
11:08 pm
corner, gets the contact and the basket. >> jeff: steven adams started overtime, got the tip and comes immediately out so that the thunder can downsize and match more towards the warriors quickness with draymond green at the five. >> mike: by the way, green's foul, his fourth. roberson guarding curry. green gets it, drives on waiters. shot misses. rebound ibaka. 16 rebounds for serge ibaka. durant finds ibaka. curry picked up by durant. curry to the basket. layup high off the glass. he got knocked down. >> mark: it's on durant. >> mike: durant has fouled out. sixth personal foul for kevin
11:09 pm
durant and he's fouled out with 4:13 remaining in overtime. first time he's fouled out this season. >> mark: finds himself on steph curry, turns the corner, contact as he drives, pushing in the back. >> jeff: i always think about this. why do we not give people an extra foul when they go into overtime? who wants to see durant out, besides steve kerr and the warriors. >> mark: i don't agree with that. >> jeff: of course not. you're like mike, you guys love foul trouble. >> mark: no, no, no. >> jeff: you love it. free throws and foul trouble. >> mark: if i'm the opposition and kevin durant has six fouls and steph curry misses a free throw, i don't want him to have the luxury of staying in the ball game. >> mike: durant hasn't fouled out of a game in three years.
11:10 pm
>> mark: westbrook, continue off that high pick and roll to make plays either for yourself or make guys better. >> mike: westbrook attacks, goes at green, tries to get it inside. deflected by green and thompson picks it up. green's made some huge defensive plays. curry for three. nails it. ten three pointers. back-to-back games with ten threes and he ties his nba record for most threes in a season. >> jeff: with durant out, oklahoma city may have to go to another offensive player instead of roberson. >> mike: westbrook knocked down. he thought he was fouled. curry ahead, iguodala. ibaka grabs the rebound. third time this season curry has hit ten threes in a game. again, second straight. he did it thursday night in orlando. he's 10 for 13 tonight. breathtaking shooting from stephan curry. >> mark: this is off a turnover
11:11 pm
and then in transition. a breakdown defensively if you're westbrook. these are the mistakes you cannot have. there's a price to pay when you make mistakes against the league's most valuable player, curry. cheese in the shell. this is gonna be bigger than drones. it's gonna be bigger than mars landings! cheese in the shell. this is gonna be bigger than james harden's beard. this is gonna be bigger than those things. this is gonna be bigger than the bass drop. dude, that's gonna be bigger than the internet. deal with it. the quesalupa. it's gonna be bigger than, everything. out on the town or in for the night, at&t helps keep everyone connected. right now at at&t, buy one get one free on our most popular smartphones. no matter how you hang out, share every minute of it.

11:13 pm
jumper, can't get it to fall. barnes the rebound. >> jeff: again, golden state is giving roberson the tony allen treatment of just absolutely ignoring him, and you're playing four on five. >> mike: curry fine, what a pass to green, but he misses the layup. the tip taken by ibaka. 18 rebounds for ibaka. >> mark: coach is right. they cannot allow roberson to not be defended. >> mike: ibaka finishes at the other end. curry, another three. oh, it's good! the curry eruption continues. a tie game. >> mark: wow. >> mike: and a record broken by curry once again, his own. 11 three pointers. he's one shy of a single game
11:14 pm
record. roberson blocked by green, roberson gets it back and banks it in. >> jeff: good activity by roberson after they got the switch they wanted. >> mike: curry in and out. that one almost went down. the nba record for most threes is 12. curry has an 11 three game. kobe bryant and done yell marshal have the record. the lead is four. timeout golden state. what a game here in okc. to h&r block.
11:15 pm

11:18 pm
>> mike: westbrook an excellent free throw shooter. both teams have missed a number of free throws, but again, two clutch free throws from andre iguodala with 7/10 of a second remaining and forced the o.t. westbrook answers. back to three. singler up on curry. drives, layup swatted away but he got hit in the head and a whistle and a foul. singler called for the foul, his third. >> mark: okc switching the pick and roll, leaving singler on curry. gets into the seams. the question is a little bit of contact by singler before the block of ibaka so certainly the correct call.
